It's labeled a yoga retreat but Shoshoni is an ashram. Students study here ayurvedic therapies, yoga, meditation and sanscrit chants-Eastern religion. The students live here and run the place, and you will learn from them. So, students teaching students. You need to feel comfortable with chanting in sanscrit and doing meditation to really get all you can out of this... More

After a curvy and icy drive from Denver, and missing the driveway entrance initially, I followed the long backwooded driveway at least a mile or two off the highway and finally started to see signs that I was arriving to Shoshoni. It was a Wednesday, early evening, and I found the main office closed. I didn't quite know where to... More

two yoga classes a day, fabulous food, tasty and plenty, meditation sessions, set in a beautiful mountain environment, and run by incredibly warm and friendly people, all multitalented. We stayed in a simple, but clean and cosy cabin - and the only thing we really didn't like while being at Shoshoni was the idea of having to leave it after... More

Very natural landscape, peaceful, and relaxing atmosphere. The 90-minute yoga class was in a spacious room with an experienced instructor. The vegetarian meal was delicious and filling. They grow their veggies on site. The sugar scrub massage was divine. I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. I enjoyed spotting the chipmunk and rabbits along the trails. A great... More

This was my second visit to Shoshoni. After a hard winter, I wanted to go somewhere I felt nurtured and at home. I was drawn back to Shoshoni where I could be with like-minded people with healthy lifestyles and open hearts. It was so refreshing to be welcomed back by the Shoshoni yogis and replenish myself with good yoga and... More

We were looking for a peaceful weekend getaway and definitely found it at Shoshoni. This mountain retreat was just what we were looking for, beautiful scenery, friendly guests and staff, amazing vegetarian food, plenty of time to hike, read, or attend classes on yoga or meditation. Not only were the yoga classes well taught, but the instructors were very knowledgeable,... More

Pluses: beautiful scenery, very quiet Minuses.... Staff: Many of the staff members were very unfriendly. When my boyfriend and I would smile and say "hi, how are you?" many of the staff would completely ignore us. Also when we checked in the person at the office charged the rest of our stay to the same credit card used for making... More

A peaceful escape from the hectic life of the big city, Shoshoni surpassed my expectations -- from the fabulous vegetarian meals to the gentle, yet energizing yoga sessions, to the quiet moments in the hot tub overlooking the Rockies. Great hiking trails, warm and friendly staff, and all the tranquil time you need to reflect and be immersed in the... More

We've visited Shoshoni every fall for many years now. I learned about it in the 90's as a rustic yoga spa with spectacular food. This held true for us into the early 2000's. Now the focus seems to be on nuturing their own community. The shine is off the food. Mostly grains, dairy and few vegetables. Vegans be sure to... More
